Anti Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly known as Botulinum Toxin injections or by popular brand names like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, are non-surgical treatments designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles formed due to repetitive facial movements like smiling, frowning, or squinting.
How Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work
The active ingredient in anti-wrinkle injections is a purified form of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein that, when injected in small, controlled doses, blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. This reduces muscle contractions in the targeted areas, leading to smoother skin and diminished wrinkles.
Common Treatment Areas
Anti-wrinkle injections are primarily used on the face to treat dynamic wrinkles. Some of the most popular areas include:
1. Forehead lines: Horizontal wrinkles that form when raising the eyebrows.
2. Frown lines (Glabellar lines): Vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called "11s."
3. Crow’s feet: Lines that appear at the outer corners of the eyes, often due to smiling or squinting.
4. Bunny lines: Wrinkles on the sides of the nose when scrunching.
5. Lip lines: Vertical lines around the mouth, also known as "smoker's lines."
6. Chin dimpling: “Orange peel” appearance on the chin.
7. Neck bands: Horizontal or vertical lines across the neck.
